Magic enables man to carry out with confidence his important tasks, to maintain his poise and his mental integrity in fits of anger, in the throes of hate, of unrequited love, of despair and anxiety.

Magic expresses the greater value for man of confidence over doubt, of steadfastness over vacillation, of optimism over pessimism.
